Dr Hoes therapy system.
Has anyone been using the Dr Hoes pain therapy system advertised on tv. Would like to know if it works or just a waist of money

I bought a system very similar a number of years ago. I personally hated it. Bought it to help with carpal tunnel, but even on the lowest settings felt like a rat was gnawing my wrist. On highest setting, I would have told you where the gold was hidden, the safe combination, and the nuclear launch codes if you asked.
That's just me though. Not everyone is as sensitive to electrical currents passing through their body.

Works for me! Had it for about a month! Bad back and shoulders! Loosens and rejuvenats the mussel.

I have one that I use for my back years of construction has left me in pain on occasion. I’ve gone through a few sets of pads now I really like it three different pulse settings and five power levels. Works wonderfully when I’m seized up.

I have had several TENS units, both from Hawaii. They are wonderful. My daughter completely wore one out, helps her get through the day with Scoliosis.
I bought one for tennis elbow when I was fly fishing in Oahu. Love it.

My wife acquired one awhile back,ive used it a few times,seems to work ok,a little bit apprehensive at the electrical shock and only from 2 AA batteries. It would be scary to think what a 12 volt would create. Probably a lab to recreate Frankenstein,lol.

The tens machines off the internet or amazon are really effective for lower back and shoulder pain.
Mine is a ProM 300. Amazing little unit

I use a tens machine from amazon.ca. Brand is easyhome, and was around $35. Been many a night that the only reason I got any sleep was because of it (bad hip). Amazing little things

Used it for years and love it. Ruptured my quad when my femur broke 10 years ago and this greatly helps loosten the muscle up when she tightens up.

My Dad is 84 he uses it to improve circulation in his feet and lower legs every day on setting 7, I couldn't get past 4. He swears it's worked better than anything else he's tried including chelation

AFAIK Dr. Ho's machine is 4 or 5 times the price of these normal units. They work but are waaaay overpriced!

Bought a Dr. Ho's and gave it an honest try. Seems to offer some relief while it's on, once you get it set to where it's not annoying as hell. Afterward, no noticeable difference. Advil every 12 hours has done more for my arthritis pain than anything else.

For the guys that use it, does it at least limber you guys up? Get rid of the tightness in your muscles.

Dr. Ho
I have been using one for the relief of pain resulting from tight and scared muscle tissue. Broke my back years ago and it releases the muscle tension.
